I think I may have tagged the wrong William Prince?

If there's a #podcast for #scatologists / #coprologists (experts who study #feces), I hope it's called "Talking Sh*t".
(Or would that be a poo-dcast?)

Putin apologists say that he felt threatened by NATO. You know who’s not threatened by NATO? Leaders who chose NOT to become murderous, undemocratic, despotic tyrants. If Putin had chosen to honour the democracy that elected him, he wouldn’t need to worry about NATO.

I went to a music store to buy a #cowbell. I asked an employee, adding "I promise I won't make any 'more cowbell' jokes!" After searching, he declared that they were out of hand-held cowbells. "It seems we actually do need more cowbell," said he. Hilarity ensued. I ordered a cowbell online.

Incredible missed opportunity for Elon Musk to announce that he’s leaving politics in order to spend more time with his families.

More confirmation that the "Freedom Convoy" was only a grassroots movement if your grass happens to grow on the far right of your lawn. That this Lawton fellow is running for Pollievre's party tells you all you need to know about what kind of Canada PP wants.

We started watching a new series. Unpredictable plot twists. Weird stuff happening all the time. Crazy characters. It’s called The News.

I’ll say this about #DonaldTrump: he’s done more for Canadian unity than anyone not wearing skates.

Does Trump realize that Canada is bigger than the United States?

I would normally ask how Trump supporters can square that obvious contradiction, but it's been long clear that they don't care. They just want to stop the world from changing and to have permission to persecute the people they blame for it.

Last night we watched the episode of Seinfeld with the "Bizarro" versions of Jerry, George and Kramer. Today we're living in a truly Bizarro political world where the supposed "law & order" US president is a convicted felon who just pardoned literal cop-killers. 1/2

I seem to recall reading an article a few months ago that reported on survey where something like 60% of Canadians said they were doing okay, but they felt everyone else was suffering economically. Anyone have a link? Am I crazy?πŸ€ͺ #Canadianpolitics #cdnpoli

A screenshot of a tweet by Mikel Jollet @Mikel_Jollett from 22/3/20 (5:47 PM Twitter for iPhone) that says, β€œNo more billionaires. None. After you reach $999 million, every red cent goes to schools and health care. You get a trophy that says, "I won capitalism" and we name a dog park after you."

Despite the fact that you don’t like his β€œyelling”? Strange take. You’re jumping back-and-forth between subjective takes and attempts to appeal to objective standards (#1 hits). Pick a lane already. I suggest you stick to the subjective because your objective arguments don’t hold water.
